THAT with the cabaret performance invading the
department store, as it has in New York, it will
only be a short step to the cabaret in the butcher
shop and grocery.
THAT we may expect to see a young butcher,
subsidized by some enterprising music publisher,
sing the latest big song and do a few steps while
he's dressing the chops.
THAT sheet music men now have a chance to
laugh, for the latest news from St. Louis is that
music rolls for player-pianos are now being dis-
posed of in the ten-cent stores.
THAT at last the secret is out—Chas. K. Harris
is quoted in an advertisement in a daily paper
with crediting a well-known brand of pipe tobacco
with furnishing inspiration to compose and write
songs.
THAT on the same basis the inspiration for some
of the rag numbers recently issued by various
houses must have been furnished by "hop."
THAT with the election out of the way it will
be interesting to listen to the new excuses offered
by certain publishing houses for bad business.
THAT probably some of the unsuccessful ones
will fall back upon the war in the 'Balkans for an
explanation.

is now promised an early production.

There is a feeling among those music publishers
in the know and who have had experience with dis-
putes over royalties, that the adoption of the sys-
tem in vogue in England would simplify the sys-
tem of accounts and prove generally satisfactory
to all concerned, despite the fact that there might
be some difficulty in securing the co-operation of
all publishers, song writers and composers. The
English system demands that the composer be noti-
fied when a certain lot of music is received from
the printers and that he visit the premises of the
publisher to place his stamp on each copy person-
ally. As given lots are stamped on each occasion
it is a comparatively simple matter for an accu-
rate account of royalties to be kept. The com-
poser is also furnished protection, in that when
he comes across a copy of one of his numbers in a
music store or in a home and minus the stamp, it
is prima facie evidence that he has missed some-
thing and he can take action accordingly. When
the suggestion was made to a certain popular song
writer that the publishers adopt the system over

AN IMPORTANT WORK
Is "Rhythm and Action with Music for the
Piano," Just Published by the Oliver Ditson
Co.—Especially Designed for Kindergartens
and Gymnasiums.
In these days when music in the schools is be-
coming one of the essentials of our educational
system, teachers will find the volume just issued by
the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass., and entitled
"Rhythm and Action with Music for the Piano,"
a most valuable aid in their work. The music has
been selected and edited by Katherine P. Norton
and is designed especially for kindergartens and
gymnasiums, and can be adapted with great suc-
cess for the more advanced schoolroom work.
The preface, by Ruth Waterman Norton, director
of the kindergarten in the Milwaukee Normal
School, is a most valuable contribution and em-
phasizes the importance of awakening in the chil-
dren an appreciation of music through rhythm
and in arousing a physical response.
This is undoubtedly one of the important publi-
cations of the season, for after all, musical taste
and appreciation in America must come with the
education of the child, and this volume cannot fail
to be a tremendous help in this connection, if in-
structors give it the consideration it deserves.
Like all the Ditson publications it is admirably
produced.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 4, 1912.
The Oliver Ditson Co. is about to put on the
market a new volume of Franz Schubert pieces
which will be uniform with the other volumes
comprised in the Musicians' Library. This will
be issued on November 11. The house is enjoy-
ing a notable prestige this fall and business has
shown a wonderful growth, October having been
a splendid month. At this writing Mr. Desmond
is making a circuit of the West and Mr. Furness,
who has been in New York State, is about start-
ing for the South. Both will be back in time to
eat their Thanksgiving turkey at home.
The B. F. Wood Co. reports that its business
has shown a great improvement over a year ago,
the percentage of increase having been something
surprising. The house has several new songs that
i: will be putting out in the course of the next
few weeks.
The White-Smith Co. has issued a suggested
program and catalog of Advent and Christmas
music, as well as another for harvest and Thanks-
giving time. Both contain some fine selections of
an instrumental and vocal nature.
The White-Smith Co. has had the pleasure of
entertaining Charles Wakefield Cadman, the pop-
ular composer, the window display of whose music
lately created a great impression in Bost&n. Mr.
Cadman is the house guest of B. M. Davison, of
the company, at his handsome residence in New-
ton Center. Mr. Cadman has been put up at
several of the leading clubs of Boston and has been
simply deluged with invitations. He has been
considerably importuned by singers who are anx-
ious tc be coached by him in the proper rendition
of his songs. Following Mr. Cadman's visit to
Boston he will begin his concert tour, which will
take him into the South, whither he goes under
the management of R. E. Johnston, of New York
Apropos of Cadman and his great popularity, it
is interesting that Mr. Davison lately has received
a letter from Dr. H. L. Stewart, of San Fran-
cisco, prominent in the musical life of that city,
being both composer, organist and teacher, that he
is contemplating making a big window display of
Cadman's music during the time Alice Neilsen,
the opera singer, appears on the Coast. Miss
Neilsen is a warm admirer of Cadman's work, and
she has embodied several of his songs in her con-
cert repertoire.
C. W. Thompson & Co., whose business has
been growing phenomenally in the past few weeks,
and with the brightest prospects ahead, have had
as callers Mr. Connor, of the John Church Co.,
and Sam Fox, of Cleveland, both of them widely
known in the trade.
The October numbe'r of Jacobs' Orchestra
Monthly is full of excellent matter both as to
text and music. The department called "Here,
There and Everywhere" contains much good and
timely news of orchestras; "The Violin Market
and the Maker," by James A. Davis, is a readable
article, and Erdmann's monthly review of New
York is a department that helps to keep one in-
formed on what is going on in the metropolis.
Mr. Jacobs is enjoying a big demand for his music
and he sees a heavy demand ahead, with which
k may be difficult to keep up.
